laptop monitor dim

[witek]

When system startx my laptop monitor is dim. I have to increase brightness with functions keys. Same situation when I switch to terminal with Ctrl+Alt+Fx and when screen saver activates. Any idea how to fix that?

I found that

Code: Select all

echo -n 87 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness

works as root. However neither adding this to rc.local nor adding this to xfce autostart seems to work
But then from root console it works.

Try something like

Code: Select all

sleep 30 && echo -n 87 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness

in rc.local

shouldn`t this be rather put in the background?

Code: Select all

(sleep 30 && echo -n 87 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness ) &
